Renting a home after a short sale can be done |
Although Fremont-Union City home renters looking for homes to rent in Fremont have to do so in some very trying times, despite challenges, many of them are excellent renters. A lot of Fremont renters have been recovering from a short sale in their recent history. That's a rough situation to be in. Not only can they can no longer keep their home, they must now have their recent financial woes made known to their soon to be landlords and the property management. Albeit embarrassing, landlords as well as property management should read between the lines of the back round report. The people looking to rent in Fremont-Union City, who have come out of short sales, can be very reputable renters. Landlords and property management professionals should look at the whole picture.
In order to rent a home in Fremont and Union City, you have to show some consistency in paying the utilities among other items. The loan history may not look good, but some loans are not good either. Landlords and property management cannot always blame the borrower. Renters Fred and Sue, who now rent through our property management division, had to short sale their Pleasanton home and find a Fremont home to rent. Their back round checks and credit checks were showing red flags in areas like the delinquent home loan, but utilities and other important subscriptions to services have been paid for on time. Moreover, they earned a very stable income. It's just that the Pleasanton home loan was too much to bear. Being a Fremont Union-City property manager, http://www.tricityhome.com/pmc.html, I made a positive recommendation to my client/landlord to accept their application immediately to rent the home to Fred and Sue. So, even after my new tenant's horrible experience with the big banks, they now pay the rent every month early and even pay me a visit at my Fremont real estate office http://www.tricityhome.com while they hand me a cashier's check. Now, with their stable income and determination to rebuild their credit, collecting rent is from Fred and Sue is the easiest part of my job as a property manager in Fremont.
The name Mel Blanc may not have been too well known to many young children growing up in the 60's and 70's, but he was one of my childhood heroes. You may have remembered him as Barney Rubble, Bugs Bunny (not to mention ALL of the Looney Tunes characters all the way down to even Black Jacque Shallac). They were all the voice talents of Mel Blanc.
Last week was a tough week at my real estate office here in Fremont CA http://www.tricityhome.com. One real estate lender was particularly persnickety. At the end of the day, on may way home, I heard the voice of Bugs Bunny singing the old Danny Kaye scat routine my head. A half smile made its way to what must have already looked like a genuine curmudgeon's face.
You might say that I just had to scratch that old Bugs byte. So, after I found it, it not only did it make me laugh all over again, but it seemed to cause a lot of delightful childhood memories to come flying back in my mind as well. Life was not so bad after all.
If you want it--Here it is--Bugs Bunny mimicking Danny Kaye "scat'n." download it here (very small .wav file) or find it here -- It's at the bottom of the page.
If that one does not put a genuine smile on your face, find one that does. It's worth browsing for. Some other good ones are:
Bookmark this blog post if you ever need to hear the voice of an old friend. Thanks Mel.
There was a time where I blog posted every day about Fremont real estate and homes in Fremont CA. Since then, I have not blog posted about Fremont homes or anything for that matter until now.
In the Brookvale Elementary School area, a couple things are stirring. First, my Fremont home for sale on 3670 Alder Ave is back on the market and getting many showings--we need the exposure. It is a good Fremont home at a good Fremont sales price. The Trulia link is here at http://www.trulia.com/property/3028428984-3670-Alder-Ave-Fremont-CA-94536. Second, and not so related, is that significant sized trout are being caught in Fremont CA at the Quarry Lakes. I have seen Fremont trout being caught twice just by observing the Fremont fishing enthusiasts giving it a try. During the most recent bike ride through Quarry Lakes, my two kids and I had watched a Fremont fisherman catch a decent sized trout. I'm hooked. This Sunday, I am taking my kids out to Quarry Lakes for a go.
Our office is finishing the sale on two Fremont homes for sale this Friday, so it will be nice to take a well-earned, relaxing break. With two second-timers--I will try to relax as best as I can. Wish us luck.
Do you love it when a provider "finally" gets it? By provider in this case I mean the Multiple Listing Providers or MLS providers for Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. This month our Alameda and Contra Costa County Bay East Association of Realtors created a shared database with Santa Clara County and many others.
You heard the expression, "less is more?" Well I am happy to report that when I am using a computer to search for homes for sale ion Fremont, more is MORE. Multiple Organization Reciprocal Exchange. Cool? Yes it is.
A while back I wrote about an awesome work around to get new listings from different MLS providers forwarded to me automatically here http://tricityhome.blogspot.com/2010/01/handheld-device-redfin-new-killer-tool.html I still use the work around a lot. In short, I wanted the whole picture. I needed homes for sale in Fremont from brokers everywhere, even those who did not possess a local Alameda Contra Costa MLS subscription. It costs a pretty penny to have one.
Until now, those homes for sale in Fremont from "out of area" brokers would never be seen by a Fremont Realtor in their own Bay East Association of Realtors database. The home for sale in Fremont simply will not show up. I have had the opportunity to begin using the new MORE platform. And, as a result, have been using MORE more. It will take some time getting used to the look and feel of it and its functionality, but I am willing to give it a go.
It has a few minor drawbacks. For example, if I, as a Fremont real estate broker list a home for sale in Fremont using the Bay East Association of Realtors data base, (BEAR), then, if I belong to Santa Clara Association of Realtors (SCCAOR) too, and input the Fremont home for sale there as well, the home will show up twice when it is found in MORE (Multiple Organization Reciprocal Exchange). Is it a big deal? Not really. In fact, the MORE exposure the better right? The puns keep coming.
In closing, I am happy that Realtors in Fremont can tap into, "the whole picture" when helping their clients buy a home in Fremont. http://www.tricityhome.com/

Empowerment Without Even Trying

Do What Donald Trump Does
It's not just Trump, many other successful people share a common thread. They employ professionals from other fields of expertise in order to create a specialized task force. Trump still retains full control, but without a lot of worry. He's even aware of the very faucets that are proposed to be installed into his buildings. If he likes it, they go in. If not? The task force goes back to review.
You need a pro task force that will take care of all the details. You'll know what is scheduled to be done next. We give you the choice and you make informed decisions. You'll know exactly what you're doing. You'll always be in control.
I Like What I See, But I Already Have a REALTOR, Now What?
Wait. Don't just drop them. The REALTOR Code of Ethics spells out what they need to do. If there is inconsistency between the Code and your agent, then talk to the broker of record of that office first and ask what steps they will take to remedy the problem. Usually, that is enough, but if there is still real reason for you to look elsewhere, and no written Broker Agreement exists then do so.
Should you already be in a Listing Agreement, or a Buyer Broker Agreement, you are (most of the time) in an irrevocable contract and the broker must mutually agree to terminate the agreement should you wish to end it. Otherwise, you may be in breach of contract and the broker can demand commissions to be paid whether or not they have closed escrow. Always consult an attorney when in doubt. If you really feel that you have a work-shy agent, don't stay working with anyone when you have the feeling they are not acting in your best interests. Give us a call. Take a listen to what happened to someone else who stayed too long with other agents.
